I don’t talk about laptops too often, but I gotta talk about this ROG Zephyrus Duo 15.
Asus unveiled some brand new gaming laptops, and out of all of them, the ROG Zephyrus Duo 15 which features a ROG ScreenPad Plus secondary display is the one that stood out for me. The sleek design, coupled with those insane specs, I know for a fact that this laptop ain’t going to be cheap!
